Moment driver loses his patience and starts dragging eco clowns out the road after they hold up traffic in Berlin

• Incident happened during slow march by German activists ‘Letzte Generation’

This is the moment a biker loses his patience and starts dragging eco clowns out of the road after they hold up traffic in Berlin.

Climate activists from the German group called Letzte Generation – translated as Last Generation – staged a slow march blockage in Berlin this week, causing traffic in Germany’s capital to come to a halt. 

Footage shows an enraged cyclist attacking the activists by grabbing one man from behind and dragging him off the road. 

The cyclist reportedly lost his cool after the activists wouldn’t let him pass through their slow march.  

In the video, the cyclist and another man in a red shirt can be seen pushing the long-haired older protester until he falls to the ground.

The video was posted to X, formerly Twitter, by Letzte Generation with the caption: ’25 slow-walk blockades in Berlin. The climate crisis is already escalating. The first tipping points have been reached. 

‘2045 is too late. 2030 free of fossil fuels is necessary. That’s why we are protesting.’

This isn’t the first time interactions between climate activists and annoyed road users have turned violent in Germany.

A shocking video taken earlier this month showed an enraged motorist resorting to violence to break up a street-blocking protest by the activist group.

The man was seen leaping into the B36 highway near the Victoria Tower in Mannheim. He began punching and kicking a series of activists from the Letzte Generation movement.

Police have now arrested the 29-year-old suspect, according to German newspaper Bild.

The assailant, wearing a white vest and grey jogging bottoms, was one of several angered motorists who confronted the eco-zealots who had donned orange uniforms and sat on the tarmac, backing up three lanes of cars.

When the demonstrators remained seated and refused to move he snapped, lashing out with fists and feet of fury and dragging them away.

Mannheim Police found out about the attack the following day and arrested the suspect in Ludwigsburg, where he was taken for interrogation. 

But Aimée van Baalen, the group’s spokeswoman, remains steadfast in their commitment to continue similar protests despite the controversy.

She maintains that Letzte Generation will not be deterred by opposition and is resolute in its mission to bring attention to climate change.

In July, three protesters were dragged out of the way by a furious lorry driver working for low-carbon energy company Air Liquide – only to rush back in front of the lorry before one of them was knocked flying.  

Air Liquide is the Paris Olympics’ official hydrogen supporter and works to innovate ‘the development of low-carbon hydrogen and biomethane for the energy transition’. 

The driver of the lorry at first jumps out to push and drag the activists out of his way.

When they sit back in position, he slowly starts driving forward – and then shunts the activist closest to the pavement.

The force is enough to send the young man flying back and bystanders come to his aid.

The lorry driver is seen throwing his hands up in frustration and stops the lorry before leaping out of the cab again to pull the protesters aside. 

Air Liquide provided the following statement to MailOnline: ‘On July 12, Air Liquide was made aware of an altercation in Stralsund, Germany, between a third-party contract driver of Air Liquide Medical Gases and local protesters. 

‘Images display unacceptable behaviour from the driver that is not aligned with Air Liquide’s values in any way. 

‘The third-party contractor has been notified that Air Liquide will no longer accept the services of this individual.’
